INTRODUCTION: • A re revi view of of the the exis istin ting Ph Physic ical al Fit Fitne ness Tes ests ts (PF PFT) intr introduced oduced by by Dr Dr. Aparic aricio io H.

This his ga gave rise ise to to the the Ph Physic ical al Fi Fitnes tness Tes ests ts Ma Manu nual al. The he man anual ual is is int ntende ended for or the the us use of of the the public ublic and and pri rivat ate schools hools for or the the Ph Physic ical al Education ation and School ool Sports ts Progr gram am.
• Pass Passing ing the the pres rescrib ribed ed sta tandar ndards ds in in the the Physic ical al Fi Fitnes tness Tes ests ts is is a req require uiremen ent for or adm dmis ission ion int nto the the Sp Special ecial Pr Prog ogram ram in in Spor orts ts. More Moreover er, under nder the the K to to 12 12 Basic asic Ed Educa ucati tion on Cur Curric riculu ulum, Ph Physic ical al Fi Fitnes tness is is one one of of the the major ajor goals goals of of the the Ph Physic ical al Ed Educa ucati tion on Pr Progr ogram am and nd shall hall be be incorp orporat orated ed/adop adopted ed in in the PE PE curric riculum lum from Grades des 4 to to 10 10. • The PFT is a set of measures designed to determine a student’s level of physic ical al fitnes ness. . It is intended nded to test t two categ egories ories of physic ical al fitnes ness common only ly referred erred to as: Healt lth-Rela elated ed and Skill ll-Rela elated ed. • Hea ealt lth-relat related ed com omponen onent ref refer er to to those those physic ical al at attri tribut utes es whic hich enable enable a per erson on to to cop ope with ith the the req requirem uirements ents of of daily aily livin living such uch as as car ardio dio- vasc ascular ular endu endura rance nce or or sta tamina, na, mus uscular lar stren trength gth and and endu enduranc rance, e, fle flexib ibilit ility and and the the app appropriat riate bod ody mass ass inde index (B (BMI) MI). Skill Skill-rel related ed com ompon onen ents ts are re physic ical abi abilities lities that that sho how potential ntial for or good good per erform ormanc ance in in cer erta tain in ski kills lls (us usually ally in in spor orts) ts) lik like run unni ning ng sp speed, eed, agilit agility, reacti tion on time or or quickn knes ess, balanc ance and coordin dinat ation ion.
• In In de deter ermini ining ng the the le level el of of health health-relat related ed an and skill kill-relat related ed physic ical al fit itnes ness sta tatus tus, several eral tes est it item ems are are ap applied lied.
